I am a 45 year old lady, premenopausal. I am having complaints of burning of urine since the last 2 months. There is no bleeding but the frequency seems increased slightly. I am a diabetic. What must be causing this? What is the treatment of urine burning? Is this something major?

Your symptoms are suggestive of you having a urinary tract infection. I would advise you to do a urine routine and a urine culture to confirm the diagnosis and to find the sensitivity of the underlying infection to medication. You would require an antibiotics. These following steps may help:
- Drink plenty of liquids(3 liters of water per day), especially water as it helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently which allows bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
- Drink cranberry juice although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not harmful.
- Wipe from front to back as doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
- Empty your bladder soon after intercourse
- Avoid potentially irritating feminine products such as using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
- Change your birth control method as diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all contribute to bacterial growth.
